 WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The river and har- bor bill has been completed by the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors and before the end of the week will be presented to the House. The bill embodies appropriations the grand total of which is $7, 158, ,250, while the total of the estimates was $30, ,281, 749. No appropriation is made in the bill for the improvement of New York harbor, although it is possible that items covering that im- provement may be inserted before the bill is formally acted upon by the House. The committee was deterred from making any appropriations for that purpose by the fact that the House Committee on Commerce ex- poets to secure some action by the House on the commission bill, which contemplates the creation of commission to supervise the ex- penditure of money for the improvement of New York harbor upon plans provided by the commission. The following are the prin- cipal appropriations amounting to $10,0O0 and over of the bill:
